Evolution of the Revolution

Excuse me for the unnecessarily solemn language (the title at least) but this post began well before we shipped Kaar, and were a tad more sentimental...Here goes:

We didn't set out to change the world. We didn't set out to change anything.

Mind you, we haven't exactly changed the world. We haven't changed anything. At the end of some 12 months of using our 'hands and minds' to the laboriuos cadence of engineering, design and jugard, we have a bludgeoning green monstrosity we call Kaar.

The green ogre with four wheels isn't eaxtly...avant-garde. I mean, for an ogre, it is state-of-the-art-stuff;but for an automobile, its slightly archaic. Uncle Ford has been making vehicles for a century. True to his legacy, if it actually is, we have put a couple of white stripes running right through Kaar...just like that do with the GTs...



It hasn't been smooth sailing.It hasn't been sailing at all. The extraordinary amounts of problems we encountered and solutions we came up with provides a juxtaposition that would look good on canvass but not on an aluminum frame. Still, ours gets along just nicely.
The most important thing about what we have come up with is that it works. Tires that spin. Engine that revs. Steering that steers. Brakes that brake. A car that moves. Kaar is as practical as a car with the wrong spellings.

This is as far as I got, and am unable to renew the flow above...sorry. The end :-P
